Abstract

In ongoing work, we are also estimating a generalized model in which both the price chosen, and the decision of whether or not to adjust the price, are subject to logit errors. This should allow us to distinguish whether intermittent adjustment is driven primarily by a risk of errors or by stickiness per se.
